Comment on degree in bamf

It makes it a popular choice for people who want to make multiple accounts for trolling, as well as people who have unpopular (as far as lemmy goes) ideologies. You can hopefully understand the kind of friction that could create and the reputation is the outcome.
You probably could have figured this out yourself if you just… Looked around. You shouldn’t expect people who are in disagreement with you to explain everything.

Ok, I can sort of see your explanation, but I disagree with you on the fact that other people should not be expected to explain their viewpoints to a person they disagree with.
Not explaining just leads to bickering, with no one getting any point across.
But if you explain the other party may gain a better understanding.

I know what you mean, but also this type of logic is used to fuck with marginalized people, putting the onus on them to stop and explain to their aggressors why what is being done to them is wrong, why they are valid people, to stop and justify your own existence for one who would doubt it
I know that’s not what you were doing, but that’s what we deal with constantly, and because others in the thread had already gone into detail about why it matters this guy was white and male, I did not need to explain again

I get that, but I hoped that my way of posting gave me some benefit of the doubt. (:

From my perspective, it actually served to do the opposite. I understand that you’re posting in good faith, but it is, especially at first, indistinguishable from the kinds I was describing

Maybe there is some hypothetical moral ideal on how people should behave in internet disagreements but I’m just trying to get you to be more realistics lmao

I am a realist, which is why I am trying show that I am no troll the only way I can, by trying to have a polite conversation.
Though I am starting to get the picture that some people who still are downvoting me would rather see me insulting and crapping sll over the thread, which just reenforce the importance of not doing that.

You are in no way a realist you are actually being a pedantic pain in the ass doing an extreme amount of work to not understand really obviously apparent realities, starting with why you got offended somebody would call out old white assholes and then with the following 20 questions where you’re being intentionally obtuse while acting like you have the moral high ground.

Honestly you aren’t even the worst in this thread but you did kinda open the door to some shit
Not that I don’t think you’re dumb as bricks for your “what does skin color have to do with this” comment. You should know damn well what skin color has to do with this
